Amawashi ahlakaniphile asungulwe eminyakeni edlule, kepha manje sekugcwele ngokugcwele. Eminyakeni eminingi edlule bekukhona lawo mawashi ahlakaniphile lapho ungashayela khona, ayenezibali zawo noma ungashintsha isiteshi kuthelevishini yakho. Manje esikutholayo emgwaqeni kuyinto ehluke kakhulu kuleso sizukulwane sokuqala samawashi asebukhali endulo.
Ngenxa yokuziphendukela kwemvelo kwezobuchwepheshe, sisesikhathini sobuchwepheshe lapho amawashi ahlakaniphile ekhula ngokugcwele. Ukufika kwe-Apple Watch kwenze izinkampani eziningi zabheja ekutholeni ama-smartwatches azo kanye nokwaba izigidi zamadola kukho konke okubandakanya.
Yebo, yize lo nyaka u-2015 ungomunye weminyaka lapho sibona khona izikhangiso eziningi zamawashi ahlakaniphile, ngo-2019 kulindeleke ukuthi okungenani ama-dollar ayizigidi ezingama-68 azokwabiwa ekukhangisweni kwama-smartwatches, ngokusho kocwaningo lwamuva. Akumangazi ngoba okugqokekayo ukuqhuma okulandelayo kubuchwepheshe beselula, kushiya eceleni i-smartphone. Ubufakazi balokhu ukubona ukuthi izinkampani ezinkulu zibheja kanjani ekukhangiseni lobu buchwepheshe obusha yonke indawo.
Ngokuya ngocwaningo olwenziwe yiJuniper Research, Kusetshenziswe u- $ 1.5 million kulo nyaka ukukhangisa. Lesi sibalo asihlangene nokutshalwa kwezimali okukhangisiwe okuzokwenziwa eminyakeni emine. Ngakho-ke siyabona ukuthi ukukhula kwalolu hlobo lomkhiqizo kuzokhula unyaka nonyaka odlulayo. Mhlawumbe i-Apple inguchwepheshe emhlabeni wokukhangisa uma iqhathaniswa nezinye izinkampani futhi yingakho igcwalisa noma iyiphi indawo yokukhangisa ngewashi layo elihlakaniphile. Ngakho-ke, idivayisi ye-apula ibonakale komagazini abehlukene, izikhangiso zethelevishini, izikhangiso ze-Intanethi kanye nokukhangisa okuncanyana okwenziwa osaziwayo abehlukene.
I-Apple akuyona kuphela inkampani ekhuthaza lolu hlobo lokugqokwa, ngoba sibonile ukuthi iGoogle nayo izibophezele kanjani kwi-Android Wear. Ngokumangazayo, lolu hlelo lokusebenza luthola ukuthuthuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukuze lube uhlelo lokusebenza oluqinile uma kuqhathaniswa nomncintiswano, njengoba kwenzeka nge-Android emhlabeni wama-Smartphones namaphilisi ahlakaniphile. Ngakho-ke lungela ukuqala ukubuka izikhangiso ze-TV, zomagazini neze-inthanethi zale mikhiqizo emisha ezosala. Nawe, Ucabanga ukuthi unikezwa ini lelo nani lemali lokukhangisa ngama-smartwatches ?
